Spring Forward

Spring has officially arrived in my part of paradise, and along with it came Daylight Saving, so we had to put the clocks forward one hour last week.  I’m always so impressed that the computers and cell phones know how to do this themselves, so it’s only a couple of household clocks and those in the cars  which need to be altered, plus watches too of course.

The last reasonably pleasant days of Winter have given way to the tumultuous Spring weather.  It’s always so much more windy in Spring, it’s been rather wet off and on, and the temperatures are jumping up and down all over the place.  The weather has been weird worldwide, and NSW in Australia is suffering from wild fires, brought on by hot temps and strong winds, that must be a terrible thing to live through.

It’s time to hang up my seasonal wall-hanging. Hello Spring was completed last summer so was this is it’s first season up on the wall.  This is hand embroidered and machine quilted.

Hello Spring

It may well be Spring but the weather is cold – so cold I decided to make some nice tasty soup for lunch.  That should last us a couple of days.

Soup up here too, and spring forward, way better than daylight saving I think. I do notice the longer daylight hours at the end of the day however, so much easier to cope with the change than when we were working and rushing out the door every morning.

It is very cold here too. Monday it was 37 deg then the next day it was 19 deg. Incredible.
I love daylight savings too.

Happy Spring and Daylight savings to you. Cold and rainy here and we are being warned it could even snow.

I really like your wall hanging.

God bless.

Happy Spring, Jenny. Your darling quilt is so cheerful and happy. Soup sounds so delightful to enjoy on a chilly day. Warmer weather is on the way . Have a great day.

Spring is a “fickle” season. Victoria has also had fires, followed by floods in the same area in Gippsland, all in the last 5 days!
